Gardaí have so far detected one Donegal driver speeding during the latest ‘National Slowdown Day’.
An Garda Síochána, in partnership with the Road Safety Authority (RSA), are conducting the nationwide speed enforcement operation. It began at midnight last night and will finish at midnight tonight.
At the halfway mark of the operation, An Garda Síochána, utilising both Garda personnel and GoSafe mobile and static safety cameras, has detected a total of 350 vehicles travelling in excess of the posted speed limits nationwide.
Examples of high speeds detected in recent hours include: 113km/h in a 100km/h Zone on the N15 Drumnagahan, on the Donegal Town side of Barnesmore Gap.
An Garda Síochána conducts a number of high profile National #SlowDown Days every year. The aim of National #SlowDown Days is to remind motorists of the dangers of speeding, encourage a national conversation on the impact of speeding, to increase overall compliance with speed limits in place nationwide and to deter and detect those that are intent on driving at excessive or inappropriate speed.
Further updates will follow.
